Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 854

"Chang'an..." He opened his mouth and shouted.

I interrupted him directly with a wave of my hand, and jumped up from the chair: "You know what, he did it because he saved me. At that time, I should have been pulled by the trap, and I should have been the one who died!"

I shouted almost with all my strength, as if I wanted to let out all the stagnant energy in my heart.

I don't know why, but I couldn't vent my anger in front of Miss Qiu and the others, but I vented it in front of Minister Hou.

I breathed out slowly, and said with a final word: "Do you understand? He died because of me, he died because of me!"

After yelling this sentence, I slumped on the chair as if I had no strength. The tears were gone, but my heart was still throbbing. I really didn't know what to do.

My emotions have been suppressed all the time. I released it in Lao Yan's office for a while before. I thought it would be fine, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't hold on.

"Chang'an, it's good if you can yell out." Minister Hou's voice was very soft, I looked at him in disbelief, so he kept asking me just to let me vent?
I don't know what to say, I just feel that he is not worth it, after all, there is no emotional connection between me and him.

He came over and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Lao Yan is my younger brother, I am your uncle, you can come to me if you need anything in the future."

I nodded first, then shook my head, saying that I should try not to look for you as much as possible.

He glanced at me, then laughed twice and said, "I didn't believe it when Lao Yan first told me that he would entrust 701 to you..."

"Because you are too young and too tender." Minister Hou looked at me, as if time had gone back several years: "However, in the past few years, I found that you have grown very fast, although you may not feel it yourself, But people around you should be able to feel it."

Minister Hou seemed to be remembering, I didn't know what to say, I just looked at him like this, and then gave a wry smile.

"Chang'an, after one and a half months, you have to face William as the director of 701." Minister Hou changed his style and suddenly mentioned the following things. I was stunned and asked him what he meant?
Minister Hou chuckled and said that if you were only a member of 701, I would not be able to get the things you want. Only if you are the director can you have such great authority, understand?

I nodded my head, and Minister Hou added another sentence: "Besides, if you want to solve William as the director, it can be regarded as a solution to Lao Yan's knot. He has always wanted to get rid of William, but it's a pity... "

"Okay!" I nodded immediately.

I was a little hesitant just now, but he has already given up the old smoke, so I knew I could only accept it.

Minister Hou patted me on the shoulder: "You go back first, take a good rest these few days, and I will track down William's whereabouts with other colleagues, so that I can take the initiative."

I took a look at him and told him not to startle the snake as much as possible!

He smiled and said he had a sense of proportion.

I just went out, and belatedly remembered that I didn't seem to do anything this trip, but lost my temper.

When Yazai saw me coming out, he rushed up to meet me and asked me how I was doing. I nodded in a daze and said that the general direction had been settled, but the initiative is not in our hands at the moment, and we have no other way.

Yazai hummed and said it was normal, but at least this time we still have traces to follow.

"Go back to 701?"

I sat in the co-pilot, Yazai got angry and turned to ask me.

I nodded first, then changed my mind: "Let's go to Lao Zhangtou."

Yazai stepped on the accelerator, and when we arrived at Lao Zhangtou's place in a leisurely manner, there were no customers in his store, and Lao Zhangtou was dozing off behind the counter. It's really no different from an old man who runs a mutton restaurant.

"Are you here?" Old Zhangtou looked at us in surprise. I knew he must have gotten the news. We should be staying in 701 at this time, but I don't like it there. Once I entered, there was Lao Yan's shadow everywhere.

I sat down in my old seat, and Yazai signaled the old man not to ask too many questions, and just serve us the food as usual.

Old Zhangtou is also a smart person, and he blurted out just now because he was too surprised to see us and didn't react for a while.He also shut his mouth without being reminded by Yazai, silently served us a table of dishes, heated up the stove again, and continued to retreat behind the counter to take a nap.

But before that, he made another action, which was to hang the closed wooden sign outside the door.

Yazai and I ordered a little more wine, and I didn't dare to drink too much, we couldn't help ourselves at critical moments, but I didn't feel comfortable if I didn't drink a little.

"Baby, I remember when you brought me here for dinner for the first time, I laughed at you several times." I poured wine for Yazai, and then said with a smile.

He obviously still remembered this incident: "You still have the nerve to mention it, if I didn't think you were a brat at that time, I would have stabbed you with a knife!"

I hiccupped laughing, saying how could I be so exaggerated, at most I was just being taught a lesson by you, but I was really curious at the time, after all, I had never seen the world at that time.

Yazai also laughed: "Why are you so smart now, kid? People who don't know, really don't believe that you were so stupid before."

Yazai and I just ate the mutton pot, and then had a little wine, eating and drinking while remembering.

But we all avoided the old smoke by coincidence...

We ate this meal for a full three hours, and the sky was almost turning white, and we walked out of the mutton restaurant crookedly as if we were drunk.

The old Zhangtou greeted us in a daze. I knew he was awake, but it was just to avoid burdening us.

We got in the car, Yazai was not driving fast, and just as the first ray of sunlight came out, the car stopped at the gate of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

I rushed directly to the bathhouse and took a cold shower, and the boy stood beside me shouting that it was cold, while taking a shower very cheerfully.

After we got out of the bathhouse, we all sneezed.

We looked at each other, then laughed, and we came alive again in the face of the rising sun.

"What are you two doing?" There was a roar, and I turned around to see Professor Xu looking at us with an angry face.

I smiled at him, and his anger suddenly dissipated, and then he said that he had already made arrangements and communicated with 303.The place for alchemy will be vacated today, and at the latest the evening will be done to save face, and the people who keep William can't see anything unusual.

"Thanks for your hard work!" I looked at Professor Xu's red eyes and bowed sincerely towards him.

Originally, he was going to go to the archaeological team as soon as he returned to Yanjing, but because of us, he stayed and pushed back the time to go in.

He waved his hand indifferently, saying that there is nothing wrong now, you and the boy should have a good sleep.

I scratched my head, I became more sleepy after taking a shower, Yazai said he didn't want to move around, so we two nestled on the small bed in my dormitory and fell asleep in the dark.

When we woke up, it was already evening, and the place for alchemy had been vacated, and even the first batch of elixirs had been refined.

Of course, this is not an elixir of life, but just an ordinary pill for back pain.

Yazai and I took a look around, originally to see if there is anything that needs help, but we found that Changkong and Yexing have arranged the place in an orderly manner, and we can't intervene at all.

I suddenly became a little depressed, so I took the boy and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhang Kong called me, and I looked at him, he glanced at me deeply, and then said softly: "Brother, you don't need to worry about anything during this time, you just need to take good care of yourself." Good health, I hope that when that day comes, you will be safe."

Only then did I know why they kept stopping me and not letting me move. It turned out that everything was for that day.

I nodded and said yes.

In fact, I am not sure.

Yazai and I came out of the alchemy room, and I casually leaned against a wall next to me, putting my whole body under the sun.

It's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the sun is still a bit harsh. After a while, my nose is slightly sweating.

I let out a breath, turned my head to look at Yazai beside me, and said with a smile, "I seem to be protected."

Yazai raised his eyebrows, then nodded as a matter of course, saying that there is no way, we are all key people now, if we don't protect them, we are afraid of being silenced.

What he said was too serious, I couldn't help but chuckled, and then I said solemnly: "When that day comes, you'd better not follow..."

"What do you mean?" Yazai exploded in an instant, and I waved my hand to tell him to be calm.

Then I explained softly: "Kumbu hasn't come back yet, and 701 is empty. If I can't come back this time, 701 will be handed over to you."

Yazai looked at me and said slowly after a long while: "If you don't come back, I will disband 701!"
